I hear a faint knock on my bedroom door, I look over as my brother walks in. Its time to go.

I grab my bag and go over to the window, Alexander unlocks it and slides it open. Thankfully the window isn't too far from the ground, only 5 feet. "Jump" I mouth. We both hit the ground with a smack, dirt coating our knees and hands. We run.

We only go as far as the forest, where a little abandoned shack just barely stands. We climb inside and set our bags down. "Where are we going to go?" I asked, crouching down on a rock. Alexander sits next to me. "We can take a boat to Cairnholm." He says. I nod, it's about an hour there by boat. "We can't just show up," I say. "We have to have a plan." Alexander thinks for a second. "We can make a shelter in the forest there...like camping." He suggests. We agree on that idea and try to get some rest.
